Clayton State
releases 2008 men’s and women’s
cross country schedule
Cougar
Invitational, Wingate Invitational highlight Laker slate this season
  MORROW,
Ga. - July 8, 2008 – Five regular
season meets will highlight the 2008 Clayton State Laker men’s and
women’s cross country schedule. Veteran head coach Mike Mead
officially released the schedule on Tuesday.
The Lakers’ regular season opens on August 30 th
with the Cougar Invitational in Smiths Station, Ala., followed by
the Peach Belt Pre-Conference meet on Sept. 6 in Milledgeville. The
big meet of the regular season is the next weekend (Sept. 13) at the
Wingate Invitational in that it is the same course where the NCAA
Division II Southeast Regional meet will be on Nov. 8.
Other regular season meets for Clayton State include the Mercer
Invitational in Macon on Sept. 27, and the Anderson Trojan
Invitational in Anderson, S.C., on Oct. 11. The Peach Belt
Conference Championship will be on Oct. 25 in Milledgeville.
"We have a nice mix of in-state and out-of-state meets that will
prepare us for the region meet in November," said Mead. "We should
have a pretty competitive schedule for the coming season as we move
from the South Region into the Southeast Region. Instead of the
likes of Alabama-Huntsville, Florida Southern and Harding, we’ll
face region opponents like Lees-McRae, Mars Hill, Queens and
Wingate."
The Laker men are aiming for a banner season in 2008 after finishing
runner-up in the Peach Belt Conference last season, while the Laker
women aim to rebound from disappointing campaign in 2007 with the
return of two-time Division II All-American Allison Kreutzer after
missing last season with an injury.
